"aslan used regular people with faults to do great things..." (thai member)
"i liked tumnus - how he changed his mind and did the right thing." (thai)
"father Christmas gave each person the very gift they would need to do their part." (american)
a member of the group shared about someone they knew (thai) who "had to leave the theatre when aslan was being killed" (they returned after this scene)... they had recently started following Christ & were overcome by the parallel to His death.
the discussion leader commented that we are reminded by lucy's character that we must enter the "kingdom of God" like a little child (mark 10:15)...this made me think about susan -- how she was more "grown-up" and how often her own common sense or desire to do the "right thing" kept her from doing the very thing she needed to do... she continually urged the others to turn back home and avoid "a war"...
what a contrast to lucy! her very innocence & young enthusiasm is what made her so loyal to aslan... and even caused tumnus to turn from his wicked ways & break free from the hold the white witch had on him.
